Are they also unbound by momentum?

TIL that ghosts are pinned to the lumineferous aether.

With the Earth's elliptical orbit, momentum would only get you so far in terms of sticking with the planet.
-
relative to the galactic central point, per Eric Idle, the earth would be 200k/125 miles away in a single second, or relative to everything in the universe / background radiation, it would be 23,000 miles (37,000 km) away in a single second.
Preserving momentum in different directions and you quickly double it
Assuming an even rate of death, that's just under 2 people dying per second currently, so you wouldn't even be able to see the people who died before or after you if you retained human senses as a ghost.

If this were true we could then actually use ghosts to determine the "true" universal reference frame, right?
-
... Boo.

Even with a circular orbit, if you're unbound by gravity you'll follow a straight path while the Earth curves, resulting in it appearing to accelerate away from you.

Yeah they would go flying off into space relative to earth but I was more referring to the idea that they’d somehow become stationary due to being immune to gravity. That wouldn’t be sufficient on its own.
